Batman: Arkham Origins devs detail relationships, setting

Batman: Arkham Origins is rolling back to an earlier time in Batman's history, making for a tricky minefield of storytelling.

"He's used to winning at the start of our story," creative director Eric Holmes told Game Informer. "He's used to being the strongest guy in the room, the fastest guy in the room. That changes tonight, so on some level that's going to crush him, his ideas of himself but it's also a great opportunity to grow."
